"Valerie? What are you doing here?" he asked with confusion. All he remembered is that dark globe being pushed inside his body by Waldorf.

When Valerie noticed that he was looking and acting normal, she jumped into his arms with joy.

"You are back. I was so scared and worried for you" she confessed with happy tears.

He hugged her tightly, while his gaze was trained in his surroundings. He is surprised to see that the forest looks almost normal. No angry souls are seen and no shadows are dancing from tree to tree. The heaviness in the air is absent, which he felt before. But still, there is something wrong with the forest, which he cannot seem to pinpoint exactly what it is.

'Waldorf's sacrifice worked?' he wondered.

The dark forest is not so dark anymore.

'Looks like it did. I am glad that Waldorf's idea worked. But, why am I feeling so strange? How did Valerie end up here? That too alone' he thought to himself.

"Valerie, what are you doing here?" he asked her softly, while still wr

    "What happened Valerie? Tell me everything you know" he asked her a question of his own instead of replying to hers. Valerie is confused. But still decided to tell him what she found when she came into this forest."You were different. Your eyes, your body, your voice, everything was different. You couldn't recognize any of us. You did not have any memories of us....." she explained everything to him.Raphael finally understood what happened after he took that dark energy inside. The dark energy was so intense, that before he could know what was happening, that energy took over his mind and body and started controlling his actions. That's why he couldn't recognize Valerie or Hector or anyone else. He was pushed into a corner of his mind and the dark energy took over. Just like when he gives control to his dragon, this time the dark energy took control.'Hydra, are you alright?' he asked his dragon. 'Fine? If being trampled over by that dark thing is being fine, then I am fine. If n

    Valerie is stunned by his angry words. Her eyes welled up with tears of sadness. "I didn't mean to upset you like this. I am just worried" she tried to explain. But he doesn't want to listen to her words, which would only make this harder."Leave," he said firmly.Valerie slowly stood up to her feet and approached him cautiously. She doesn't want to upset him more than she already did."I am sorry" she whispered softly when she stood a few behind him.His heart is aching with pain. He can hear the sadness in her voice. She never has to apologize to him for anything. He wants to take her into his arms and console her. But that will not serve his purpose."Now don't waste my time more than you already did. I told you to leave. Is it so hard to understand? Go away" he said with a heavy heart. He is still not looking at her.Valerie raised her arm to touch his back but hesitated a little. In the end, she pulled her hand back down to her side. 'How can I tell him that I didn't mean to hu

    "I will leave, but I need something from you," she asked him softly.Raphael lifted his head and met her determined gaze with his confused one."From me?" he repeated her words. She never asked him for anything until then. Except for his time and affection, she never wanted anything from him. But now, she is requesting something for the first time. He cannot and will not say 'no'. "Ask me for anything and it will be yours" he promised.She gave him a sweet shy smile."You promised me. You should not go back on your words" she reminded him.He shook his head."Princess, I will lay down my life for you. You can ask me for anything. And I will give you that" he promised.She took a deep breath before confessing what she wanted from him."I want you. I want you to make me yours" she whispered while looking straight into his eyes.Raphael smiled softly."I am already Yours and you are mine" he responded softly. She shook her head."Not like this. I want you to make me yours, mind, body,

    'I cannot cross that fog''I can turn back into that dark man again at any time 'Valerie kept thinking about what Raphael told her a few hours back. He insisted that she should leave. But she refused to leave him alone when he was suffering like this. He tried to make her leave, but she was adamant and refused to leave. Finally he gave up. That was a couple of hours ago. She is sure that the sun must be risen in the outside world by now. But the dark fog is preventing any light to seep inside the forest. The forest is dark, but she can still see her surroundings clearly. She turned to look at Raphael, who is lying on his back on the ground beside her. He made a make shift bed with leaves, so that it wouldn't be so hard to sleep on for her. She took him in with her gaze. He is folding his hand under his head, which made his muscles pop. His flat muscular and are hard. His angular face is like it is carved specifically to imitate Adonis. Her gaze trained lower down south, and landed o

    Valerie was bathing in the pond when she heard a loud splash behind her. She whirled around to see what it was, but she saw nothing. But ripples appeared on the water's surface due to whatever caused that splash. She turned to look at the area where she had last seen Raphael a few minutes ago. But to her horror, he was not where she left him. Her uneasiness grew and she searched around the area anxiously with her gaze. Just when she was about to open her mouth and mouth to call for him, he appeared right in front of her from under the water. She gasped with surprise and took a step back. That made her head go right under the waterfall, momentarily making her eyes close. When she tried to come from under the water spray and open her eyes, she felt his hands wrap around her naked body from behind. She recognized his touch immediately, but something felt odd. His touch is too rough and he is holding her a little too tightly. He is not letting her move away from under the spray when she

    After the unexpected incident with the dark man, Valerie's bath turned her into a restless mess. She wanted to leave the dark forest, especially now that she cannot see the dark man anywhere around her. But she doesn't want to leave Raphael alone. An hour passed by after her unpleasant run-in with the dark man. She looked at her hand with which she slapped him. 'What happened in that pond? Did I really like his touch? How can I betray Raphael like this? This is the worst thing I could do to him when he trusts me so much ' she thought as her guilt is eating her up.'How to bring Raphael back? Fight Raphael, please fight that darkness. I need you now more than ever ' she thought sadly.Unknown to her, the dark man is sitting on a branch of a tree under which she is currently sitting. He is watching her intently. He can see the guilt clearly written on her face. She dared to slap him. If it was anyone else, he would have killed them already. But he was not angry with her for some reason

    Valerie is suffering in her own misery when the dark man jumped in front of her from nowhere."Ahh.." she gasped with shock and jumped to her feet to run out of his reach. But the dark man caught her hand in a vice-like grip, restricting her from running away."Let go of me" She struggled to break free until he opened his mouth."I am sorry" he whispered honestly.She is taken aback by his confession."If this is your new trick, then don't even try. You can go back to where ever you came from. I am not going to fall for your deception " she snapped angrily.He smiled sadly. Now he is understanding why that wise old man cautioned him about having a body. Because it would come with its own set of complications. "I deserve your anger. But you should understand something first" he is trying to explain. But she is so angry that she doesn't want to listen to him."I don't want to or need to understand anything. Now let me go" she pulled her hand from out of his hold and turned to leave. Bu

    The dark man is watching a particular section of the dark forest where the trees are too thick and too tall. There will be little to no light that touches on this particular place even on a bright sunny day. 'She is there' the dark man told Raphael. As the Darkman knows about this forest better than Raphael, the Darkness was given control so that they can find Valerie faster. But the forest is creating too many obstacles for him to reach the Ernest princess.'Let's go then. Let's bring her back ' Raphael told the dark man.Slowly the Darkman jumped from one branch to the other. These trees are under the control of the dark forest. So they can just trip him at any point like they did a hundred times by now. It was hard enough to find the location where the forest hid Valerie. And on top of that, he kept falling, and the forest is injuring him often to stop him. If that's not enough, his energy is being slowly drained by the forest. His body is becoming weak as time passes by. 'We ca

    After one year....Raphael wanted to hide everything Irina did, because she was once a queen of the Raven clan. Her black deeds will forever become a black mark on the Raven clan. The hard earned reputation of his ancestors would be ruined, which he doesn't want to happen. So he hid her death when it happened. As everything happened in the middle of the night and as the Raven palace is sitting at a fair distance away from the town, no one knew what happened or suspected anything. By morning, only ashes were left behind. The dead army and even irina who brought them to life are all gone. Cadmus lied to everyone that irina went on a spiritual journey to find peace. Everyone believed that lie as Irina made sure to keep her reputation spotless when she was alive. Only peace was left behind after she passed away. "Raphael? What are you doing here?" Valerie asked from behind him. He is standing in the palace court yard while looking in the exact place where his mother died. Valerie noticed

    Raphael and his men together surrounded the dead army from all four directions. They start to burn the dead army with their dragon fire. As Irina is momentarily disoriented, the dead army stands still like statues, while their bodies are burned down to ashes. When Irina realized what was happening, she gained back the control she has on the dead people again. "You dumb idiots, attack" she screeched loudly. At once the dead army started charging toward the Raven palace again. As their bodies already started burning, they are now walking fireballs charging towards the Palace gates. At once the palace gates shook with the force of the dead army. It creaked loudly, protesting from the force with which the dead army was pushing at it and trying to breach the palace walls."Guards, shift and stop them from entering the palace. The gate will not hold that much force for longer. Barricade the gates with sandbags. Quick" Raphael instructed his men while he resumed burning their decayed bodie

    "Your Highness, dead bodies are walking," he said in a rush. The guard is pale and looked scared. Raphael and Angoori ran outside and were shocked to see an army of dead and decaying people walking towards the Raven palace. Their bodies are muddy as if they just came from inside a grave. Bones can be seen in their half-decayed bodies. Most of them are just walking skeletons, and the rest are in the process of decaying. Irina is leading them in the front. She looked happy at herself. Raphael thought he was prepared to deal with anything Irina threw at them this time. But no amount of mental pep talk would have prepared him for this. 'How does anyone fight with already dead people?' he thought while taking in the walking dead steadily approaching the palace. The Raven guards look scared out of their minds. But the guards are trying to look brave and do their part by locking the tall wrought iron palace gates and positioning themselves to shield the entrance with weapons. That dead ar

Out of all her enemies, she never imagined that it would be her own son who would destroy everything. The years of planning, pretending and after a million cunning ideas, everything was burned down to ashes because of Raphael."No one, I mean not a single soul dared stand against me. But now, after twenty-five years of unhindered rein of only victories, my own flesh and blood is standing in my way" she screeched with anger and frustration.The dark forest shook with the intensity of her anger. "After everything I gave you, you decided to take up my enemy's side and betray me. Now, after I learned that you stole my dark powers, there is no going back for you from this betrayal. You have to join your dear Father in heaven. You never really saw my true nature, Raphael. I only ever pampered you and hid my true self from you. I onl

    Cadmus understood what Raphael meant by 'Our plan ' after half an hour. They are standing in the palace Courtyard and all the Raven guards are standing in front of them. Confusion is seen on their faces. It's almost midnight and a meeting with their king at this hour is not common. But Cadmus understood why Raphael is doing this now. Because they cannot afford to waste any time, especially when they don't know where Irina is and what she is planning. "You must be confused and thinking about why your new king wants to speak with you all at this hour. But I understood that this is the best time to speak about things that all of us want to hide from others" Raphael spoke.His words left everyone confused in the beginning, but then the men who are loyal to him understood where this was going. So they looked at each other and nodded their heads in understanding. Stealthily they changed their positions in such a way that they are now surrounding Irina's loyal men whom they are sure would g

    After her failed attempt to threaten her enemies, Irina left the Coronation party in a fit of murderous rage. "No, if they think that they can intimidate me, then they are dead wrong. Raphael might not know about me, but Arthur, how did you think that I would let you go so easily? We grew up together. You know how stubborn I am. If I set my eyes on something, then that should either belong to me, or it should be destroyed. Just like you. I wanted you, but you rejected me and married anesthesia. I thought of killing you, but that would be an easy punishment for you. I want you to suffer. And your suffering would only end on the day you die. Now, your daughter made a huge mistake by taking over my position as the Raven Queen. You made my son go against me. That is a sin deemed to be punished by death. Now she will die, and so will you. None of you know what I did for two years after I left the Ernest palace. I practiced dark magic. All these years I was trying to amplify my dark powers

    Irina has a malicious smile on her face. She is hiding how angry she is. She never thought that there would come a day when she might have to see her son laughing and chatting with the people she hates the most. What's worse is, he made her the worst enemy and made Arthur's daughter his Queen. "Hello Eugene" Irina greeted the Nester king. She intentionally skipped his title. This is the same way she used to address him when she used to stay in the Ernest clan. But after things turned bad between her and Arthur, she distanced herself from Eugene as well. Because she knows that he is loyal to Arthur.Eugene became stiff and so did the others. Raphael tightened his fists. Valerie's eyes flashed with anger. Anesthesia, Arthur, and Liliana have matching frowns of disgust. Hector and Cadmus look uncomfortable."Hello, Irina" he replied with a blank face. Irina turned her gaze towards Arthur. She wanted to disturb their happiness. "You look happy Arthur. I saw this kind of smile on you on

    The entire Agnes clan bowed their heads when Valerie approached them. They don't have a choice. Going against a gold dragon is like going against a mountain that is taller and stronger. It's useless to fight with a mountain when you clearly know that you cannot win that battle. A gold dragon's wrath can destroy an entire clan. Her blessing would help any clan flourish and grow. The land that she touches will be greener than any other land."I am not killing you merely because I don't want my mate's coronation to be remembered with a blood bath. Ravens are known for their hospitality. You came here as a guest. I don't want to hurt a guest. But be aware, Princess Tasha. I will not tolerate disrespect either.
